Ep 133: Streetwear Crochet Designer & Fiber Artist Chelsea B Shares Ups & Downs of Fashion Business

BlackNFashion With Lenese Calleea

This week I got to have an open, authentic chat with multifaceted fashion designer, Chelsea B. She shares her journey to success, her missteps in fashion business, and her best advice for up and coming fashion-preneurs. Chelsea B hails from the South-side of Chicago, Illinois. Having a passion for art at a young age was a natural fit for her. However, SCAD (The Savannah College of Art and Design) was where she discovered her true passion for fiber arts and fashion. It was here that she combined her tactile skills with her love of color to create unique wearable pieces. She went on to earn her B.F.A in surface design and textiles with a minor in fashion design May of 2019. She has since then founded House of Chelsea B, her own studio practice, where she combines streetwear fashion with the skill of crochet in innovative ways. With her innovative style, social media influence, and continued collaborations, Chelsea B hopes to continue to shift the narrative in fiber arts and fashion community.
